Amy was born in Richmond and raised in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Amy obtained her Bachelor of Arts with a Psychology major from the University of British Columbia. Amy has over 14 years of legal knowledge and expertise. It was a result of her interest in law and giving back to her community that led Amy to pursue a career as a Notary Public. Amy was accepted into the Notary Public Education and Preparation Program and obtained her Master's degree in Applied Legal Studies from Simon Fraser University.

Amy values participating and being actively involved in her community and has continued to support her local community by participating in annual community events such as Canada Day-Family Day, Run for Water, Abbotsford International AirShow and Relay for Life. One of her most memorable volunteer experiences was as an Accreditation Operator during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and Paralympics where she finally got a chance to meet her favorite hockey player and fellow British Columbia native, hall of famer Steve Yzerman.

CELEBRATING OVER 40 YEARS TOGETHER

In 1972, Grosvenor International had a vision of developing a Shopping Centre in the eastern Fraser Valley. A few years prior to this vision, Grosvenor International developed Guildford Town Centre in Surrey, which was named after Guildford, a township in England.

Looking east of England’s Guildford they saw the bustling little town of Sevenoaks. Named after a fascinating place in England, dating back as far as 1114 AD when it was known to the locals as Seovenoca, this picturesque and rustic trading village was sometimes the home of the Arch-bishop of Canterbury and even members of the Royal Family. Like Sevenoaks in B.C., the original town is located in the middle of a rich agricultural area.

It was then that Grosvenor decided to go ahead with their plans and develop Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in beautiful Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Sevenoaks opened its doors on October 15, 1975 at 10am with their mascot Oakie, and their brand new tag line “A New Style of Shopping, In the Beautiful Fraser Valley”. On opening day Sevenoaks was pleased to welcome Eaton’s, Woodwards, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sevenoaks Coiffeurs (now Gismondi’s) and 48 other retailers. Today, Sevenoaks has grown to 110 retailers in the heart of Abbotsford and servicing all of the Fraser Valley.

If you want to purchase a home in Abbotsford, Chilliwack or anywhere throughout the rest of Fraser Valley, you’ve come to the right place! We are proud to welcome both first-time home buyers and seasoned investors and we know we can find you the perfect financing, regardless of which category you fall into.

1150+ files and counting...

A focus on all the lessons learned through 1150+ funded files and beyond is what is brought to the table to assist with your mortgage planning.

Be prepared for whatever life brings you.
